Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
